Top issues during term (20)
Buddhist temple on environmentally sensitive Sycamore Lane site
Landscaping companies will have to shell out cash to upgrade their gear to electric models, which might mean slightly higher lawn care bills for residents.
Whitmore Estates subdivision of former Windward School property
No direct city cost identified; the developer would dedicate the new road and utilities to the city if accepted.
Ebersol Rink capital improvements and sponsorship legislation
The program brings outside funding to support the rink.
